Welcome to the first event!
This will take place between the dates of the next two full moons: June 3rd and July 3rd.
June’s is the Strawberry Moon, also called the Rose Moon and the Hot Moon.
July’s is the Buck Moon, also called the Hay Moon, Thunder Moon, Herb/Wyrt Moon, and Claiming Moon.
Depending on the region both are also known as the Mead Moon, hence the name and theme of the event. (The Mead Moon can also refer to the full moon closest to the summer solstice, which is in June most of the time, but is in July this year.)
The summer solstice is June 21st, Midsummer Eve is June 23rd, and Midsummer Day is June 24th.
